For a richer flavor, use European-style butter. If plums are very tart, toss them with a tablespoon or two of granulated sugar before arranging them on the cake. To prevent the crust from browning too quickly, tent the cake with foil during the last 20-30 minutes of baking. Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
